[MIham] Blind Man Needs Antenna Mounted

Hi All,

Direct TV has moved so many of the channels that I enjoy to the 5 LNB HD 
antenna, from my current 3 LNB digital antenna, that I am being 'forced' to 
upgrade or live without what I want to watch!

Leaving the legal issues and violation of the ADA (Americans With 
Disabilities Act) out of the situation, Direct TV refuses to put the new 
antenna where the current one is forty feet up my fifty foot R-25G tower. So 
if I want the antenna changed, I have to get somebody to install it on my 
own while the Direct TV installation guy watches!

Since the new 5 LNB antenna mounts using a two inch pipe, I am going to have 
to have somebody make me one that their antenna dish will mount on and the 
other end attach to my tower.

Anyone out ther with any ideas or suggestions as to how to get this job 
done? Thanks!
